The Boss Matchmaker.

A SUGGEsTIoN.--A Dallas lady was
giving her daughter instructions in
etiquette, and how to acquire a hus-
band.
If 4 gentleman enters the room,
etiquette demands that you rise from
your seat, and advance a few steps
to meet him with 4 bright, sunny
smile"
"But suppose no gentleman ever
comes into the room?'
"Thcn of course you don't change
your position; you remain just as
you are."-Uarper's Mayazine.

The OLD RELIABLE HoUsE.-Our
friend, John Vilwig, is still in the
land of the living. Although he has
not taken that long contemplated
visit to Fatherland," he is still ca

of fine as well as cheap furniture
His stock of walnut furniture is large,
varied and superb; while his fine

a Last Word.


If You love me tell me so;
Coal is very high;
Father thinks it isn't right
You should com here every night,
Staying till the fire is low
Just to spoon and sigh.
Calling me your "littlc sweet"
Docs not pay for gas;
While your lonely heart may yearn,
In the chandeliers may'burn
Jets that make a thousand feet
Ger the meter pass.
Love, I know, completely fills
LIES void gallery;
Yet while these dear moments haste,
Think how many dollars waste
Coal and gas, aud other bills
Fathers salary!
Then, 1 prithee, dear one brace!
Do but speak the word;
Else must I to father yield,
Else must you vacate the field,
Else must some n take your place;
"Stocks and bonds" preferred.
